WAsuISaros, D. G, Jan. 1.-THE con.
firmation Of Public Printer benedict still
hangs FIRE. lie Is making strenuous efforts
to win over the Senators who have ex.
pressed themselves uutavorably toward
him. 1t Is now believed that Senator
kenna will support him. Mr.. Kenna has
been recslylng great many appoint
ments In the bureau lately. I have been
told that the Public Printer was at frat
inclined TO ignore Mr.. Kenna, but that
our kanawha statesman, hied himself to
the Government printing office and gave
the chiefa talking 10 that caused him to
tremble In his boots, MIR. Kenna in.

the Office, and that West Virginia intend.

places he desired. Tho appointments
were made. Mr.. Kenna is rapidly, gain
ing for himself reputation similar TO
that once enjoyed by General Logan dur :,
ing the palrny days Of RepubIicanism
here, when Logan was considered the
moat Buccesalul place,hunter Of all the
Senators. His personal popularity among
the officials contributed no more to his
success In this particular than did his de-
torminod manner. When Logan sailed
out for a scalp he invariably returned with
it dangling In his belt; when he went for
a place for a constituent or friend he nj.

This would decide the matter No man
had the temerity 10 persist in refusing.
Senator kenna is pretty much the samo
Kind OF man. Like Logan, he never
asks for favor unless he wants 1t very
much, and he will not take refusal. Hs
makes it point never to impose on an
official an unjust request, and 1t is his con-
hdence IN the juatlce OF his wish that
makes him so determined to have it
granted. His personal intimacy at the
White House is well known, and it may
be that the promptness with which his
requests are granted by certain otticiala
can be trecsd to this fact. He will not
thank mo !cr advertising his sucoeaa in
this manner, as it is more than likely to
result in an increased demand upon him
from hungry constituents. He will charge
me with maliciousuess, but 1 only desire
to give an interesting bit OF news 4
